Keep a small tray lined with baking paper ready.
In a medium sized saucepan, gently heat the date syrup, cocoa powder, coconut oil, and peanut butter, until melted and smooth. Take it off the heat.
3 tbsp Peanut butter, 4 tbsp Coconut oil, 1/4 cup Date syrup, 2 tbsp Cocoa powder
To this mixture, add the oats, chocolate, sea salt, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
1.5 cups Rolled oats, lightly roasted and cooled, 1/3 cup Dark dairy-free chocolate, roughly chopped, 1/4 tsp Sea salt, 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Form into even sized balls and press down a bit to flatten them.
Place on the prepared tray and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes until firm.
Drizzle some melted chocolate on top of each cookie and top with chopped peanuts. Serve and enjoy!
Melted chocolate for drizzling on top, 2 tbsp Roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator or freezer.

It's important to have all your ingredients measured out and kept ready as this recipe comes together really fast.

Don't let the chocolate mixture cool before adding all other ingredients in. We need the mixture to be still warm for easier mixing and scooping.

Let the cookie dough rest for 5 minutes before scooping and rolling into balls. This allows the oats to soak some moisture and become a bit softer.

I like to toast my rolled oats for these peanut butter oatmeal cookies because I prefer the toasty flavor. You can omit this step altogether if you want.

I prefer to use rolled oats for a more chewy texture but quick cooking oats work well too.
